SMART LINKS

SMART Home. um-smart.org describes SMART’s purpose and activities including its projects, research, education, and global learning community. It also introduces the key movers of SMART and provides ways to get in touch with SMART and engage with its work.

SMART People. This link profiles SMART’s diverse and passionate leadership and steering group. This section is currently being supplemented with new steering group members.

SMART Projects. SMART catalyzes and collaborates in a number of “Living Labs” or pilots, in communities and regions around the world. Living Labs are developed not only for the purpose of understanding and addressing the sustainable transportation challenges and opportunities of particular communities. They also provide frameworks for developing new research, business models, innovations, collaborations, and educational and skills development opportunities that can be adapted and applied elsewhere. For current and ongoing project news, see “Project Updates” in this blog.

SMART Research. SMART catalyzes and collaborates in multi-disciplinary research that spurs and enhances implementation of sustainable transportation systems in communities and regions around the world. It concentrates on integrative approaches, conceptual frameworks, business models, and policies that support accessibility, livable cities, environmental sustainability, and social equity as well as New Mobility industry development and job creation.

Smart Search [Knoogle]. Use it like Google, but . . . the great advantage over the usual Google search is that (a) it is much more compact and focused in its offering, because (b) it scans and reports on the work and offering of the carefully selected key sources that are leading the way.

SMART TV. A Video is worth at least a thousand words. SMART tries to get visuals wherever possible at its own and other events. This is where you can find them.

CARSS. SMART was incubated at the Center for Advancing Research and Solutions for Society (CARSS) and is now a full joint project of UMTRI and TCAUP.

TCAUP home. SMART is a joint project of The Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning (TCAUP) and UMTRI.

UMTRI home. SMART is a joint project of the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) and TCAUP.
